Actor portrait session Ottawa

A headshot is a
first audition.

Casting directors spend seconds on each submission. Your headshot needs to do something in that window — not just look professional, but communicate range, presence, and type before a single line is read.

That's not something a generic studio setup gives you. It comes from understanding what makes an actor's face interesting, and knowing how to get them out of their head long enough to let that happen.

I've spent 17 years working with people in front of a camera. The session always starts with a conversation — about the roles you're pursuing, how you want to be perceived, and what you want the image to say before you say anything at all.

Everything covered,
nothing left to chance.

01

Pre-session consultation

We talk before we shoot. About your type, your target roles, your current reel and look. The session is built around that conversation.

02

Multiple looks

Bring outfit changes. We'll work through each one and find what reads best on camera — for the specific roles you're going after.

03

Directed session

I give direction throughout. Not stiff poses — small adjustments to expression, energy, and eye line that make the difference between a good shot and a great one.

04

Curated delivery

High-resolution retouched images, delivered digitally. Industry-standard quality, ready for submissions, websites, and agency use.

Portrait &
Branding Session

Preferred
$900 + tax
2 hours · studio rental & 5 retouched images included

Two hours, one location. A quick refresh of your press shot and profile images, captured together in the same sitting.

Book this session
$1,175 + tax
3 hours · studio rental & 5 retouched images included

The session most artists choose. Time for a full wardrobe or look change, performance energy and quieter portraiture both — a complete toolkit for a release or an EPK refresh. This one can also be split between studio and an outdoor or on-location setting, if that suits your vision better.

Book this session
$1,435 + tax
4 hours · studio rental & 5 retouched images included

More time, more looks. Built for a bigger campaign — enough range and depth to carry singles, socials, and press together as one visual world. Studio and on-location time can be split across the session, if you'd like both.

Book this session
$1,925 + tax
6 hours · studio rental & 5 retouched images included

The longest session available — the most coverage and variety of any package, so you leave with the widest set of images to choose from. Like the 3 and 4 hour sessions, time can be split between studio and an outdoor or on-location setting.

From five images to your full gallery

Your five retouched images are the starting point, not the finish line. Once your gallery is ready, we go through everything we shot together and build out the rest of your set — priced as a collection, so it's easy to walk away with exactly what you need.

Collections start at $225 for a 10-image set, with the full menu walked through together after your session.

All images delivered as high-resolution digital files with a royalty-free license for personal and commercial use.
